Aston Villa maintained their Champions League charge with a thumping 4-1 win over West Ham UEFA
Douglas Luiz’s brace, including a second-half penalty, plus goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey moved them to fifth in the Premier League, just two points off top spot UEFA
Jarrod Bowen’s deflected effort made it 2-1 but the hosts recovered for Watkins to smash in a crucial third before Bailey wrapped things up late on UEFA
The Hammers, now five points adrift of Villa, slipped to just a third defeat of the season after struggling to match the hosts UEFA
Villa had waited long enough for a victory over the Hammers, their bogey side UEFA
They had recorded just one win in the last 10 years, a 1-0 victory when Villa were already on the slide in 2015, but under Unai Emery they are a different beast, having earned 10 straight home league wins for the first time in 30 years coming into this match UEFA
Emery put his faith in Nicolo Zaniolo, starting while he assists the Italian authorities in their investigation into alleged illegal UEFA betting activity UEFA
A Sunday afternoon slumber hung over Villa Park in the opening stages but it was roused when Alphonse Areola brilliantly turned Luiz’s 25-yard effort wide UEFA
It was a stunning save from the West Ham goalkeeper but he should have been beaten five minutes later UEFA
Moussa Diaby’s pass evaded Kurt Zouma for Watkins to turn Vladimir Coufal UEFA
The hard work done, the striker had just Areola to beat but dragged inches wide from 12 yards UEFA
The momentum was with Villa so there was little surprise when they went ahead after 30 minutes UEFA
Zaniolo and Watkins linked on the left with the England striker collecting a cute return pass to tee up Luiz on the edge of the box and he drilled low past Areola UEFA
In scoring, the midfielder became the first Villa player to net in six straight home matches in the Premier League UEFA

Villa were slicker than the Hammers, who waned in the last third with a final ball missing and Michail Antonio haphazard UEFA
Any hopes of a comeback rested on a strong start to the second half but, instead, the Hammers self-destructed after 51 minutes to gift Villa total control UEFA
There was little danger when the Hammers looked to play their way out in the corner but Lucas Paqueta’s wretched pass put Edson Alvarez in trouble UEFA
Ezri Konsa darted ahead and Alvarez clattered the defender to concede a penalty which Luiz coolly converted UEFA
It looked like a Villa cruise but the visitors pulled a goal back out of the blue five minutes later when Bowen’s shot from 25 yards clipped Pau Torres and rolled in the corner UEFA

Yet Villa ended any hopes of a recovery with 16 minutes left UEFA
The Hammers had the hosts on the ropes briefly but were caught out by John McGinn’s long ball to Watkins UEFA
The striker, fresh from his winner for England against Australia during the international break, still had plenty to do but sold a dummy to Zouma before drilling into the roof of the net from an angle UEFA
Substitute Bailey then wrapped up the points with a minute left, collecting Youri Tielemans’ pass, sidestepping Aguerd and finding the top corner UEFA
